Last weekend saw 26 of the City of London Livery Companies and Lincoln Cathedral join together to celebrate traditional crafts and skills.

The Heritage Skills Festival gave visitors a unique opportunity to see at first hand the skills and knowledge that are kept alive for future generations through the City of London Livery Companies.

Head of Training, Education & Trading Standards Liaison Dave Merry and his apprentice Ryan Grant manned the Assay Office stand in the Chapter House of the Cathedral. Prime Warden Judith Cobham-Lowe took part in a procession and joined the Assay team over the weekend.

A further article on the event is on the City And Livery blog.
